Re: Arizona congresswoman shot
Excellent points. GOOD thinking.
Numerous untrained concealed carry individuals in this type of situation is counter-productive. In an airline incident, it could save numerous lives (possibly), but disarming a perp is the first best solution, if it is possible.
Obviously, disarming the populace is NOT the answer, because hundreds of cases every month come in where an armed citizen protected self and family by being armed him/her self. Of course you won't hear about these on FoxLeftNews.
There are those who protest against Psych profiles before allowing issuance of firearms - I'm not joining them. I am all for psych profiling before issuance, and against global disarmament because a person is a US Veteran with hypervigilance (One manifestation of PTSD, so if you notice too may things you are disarmed, as I was). Our combat vets are probably our best chance at a militia to protect the country, trained as we are, but now we are second-class citizens. Relegated to 'tolerated slave' status.
If we approached weapons issuance with the same logic as we did all other things, this would not be a problem. However, the Brady-Bunch comedy hour has infused all our logic with fear units, and guilt probes, so that if you are for civil rights re: the 2nd amendment, you must be a criminal.
What a mixed-up world. I'm glad I'm old enough to not see how this plays out. Your fear of guns will come back and bite you in the ass. From my grave I will laugh at you.
